If you're interested in this story, it may be in print somewhere, but
it's also in this podcast that you can listen to online, with no
add-on apps:

Hint: They didn't do it themselves.
It is very easy to make a rocket. The difficult part is the flight
control unit that keeps the rocket flying straight and narrow instead of
going in random directions after liftoff and crashing back to earth near
the launchpad.
A modern smartphone has all the sensors required to let the rocket
correct its course and guide itself to its destination.
All you need to do is write an App and send the output to an interface
to control the power of each of the three nozzles (a rocket as no wings
or rudder, so a minimum of three nozzles would be needed to make the
rocket go in any direction you want it to).
North Korea makes smartphones:

Download this Android App (Sensors Multitool) to read the sensors:

This "Sensors Multitool" App can read all the sensors in your Android
smartphone (everything you need to guide a missile to its destination):
GPS
Rotation Vector
Linear Acceleration
Gravity
Gyroscope
Accelerometer
Magnetic
Pressure
Orientation
The story is about the engines. N. Korea couldn't get a mid-range
rocket to fire reliably. All of a sudden, they're building ICBMs that
work.
The analysts recently realized why. The engines are Cold-War-Era
Russian -- possibly made in the old Russian heavy-engine factory in
the Ukraine.
I think you mean mean russia, not ukraine.
The factory is a holdover from the Sobiet days. It's in Ukraine.
there is no ukraine. there is only russia.
Blink blink...huh? Might want to tell that to the Ukrainians
---
The Ukraine only comprises about 603,550 sq km of land.... maybe he
over looked it?
The russians had no problem walking in and taking over the parts they
wanted with no resistance. Any place that wimpy isn't even a country.
Sort of like California where Gunner tells that the Mexicans and the
(what do you call 'em?) White Challenged have taken over and an honest
man can't hardly get on the relief rolls any more?
Mark Wieber doen't need to get on any relief roll. Gunner has a thriving
glory-hole booth business going nicely in Taft.
Gunner is not greedy. At $2 a pop, even the beggar at the street corner
can afford to pay him.
The question now becomes "does The Question Mark Kid" know what he is
talking about? Or not?
Given that the nyme he selects for himself consists largely of
question marks and blank spaces the odds seem to be heavily in favor
of the latter.
Unless, of course, there is sufficient atmosphere at 164,050 feet for
the V2's "wings" to create lift.
